Lemon Blossom Bars
Dec. 8th, 2007 11:18 amThis has to be our favourite holiday dessert. We make it year round too, but at Christmas time it's a must. If you like desserts like Key Lime Pie or Lemon Meringue Pie, you will love this. The bottom layer is a shortbread-like crust. The middle layer is a creamy, tangy, lemon custard. And the topping is a coconut meringue.
I use a lemon custard powder in the first layer to give it more lemon flavour and a yellow colouring. I use cornstarch when I am out of custard powder or when I feel like a more traditional shortbread-like crust.
This recipe came from my mom, but I don't know it's origin. I'm sure she wouldn't mind me sharing it. One of the joys of cooking is sharing your favourite recipes with friends.
